Thanks so much! they were fun to build!

[@brendanm6921]

Colour me impressed, this is certainly way more fancy and high quality than my tagelharpa which I built. I'll add this video to my list of inspiring designs for my future work so thanks a lot for that! One thing to note however, the title of this video is incorrect. Well, possibly it is anyway. There is absolutely no historical evidence whatsoever that the tagelharpa was played by Nordic people during the Viking era of Scandinavia. It may have been but we don't know that it was. The Viking era ended in the year 1066 and the earliest known use of a bowed lyre instrument in Scandinavia was the Jouhikko in the 14th century. There is a Nordic poem called Voluspa dating back to the 10th century which describes a plucked lyre though. I just want to make it absolutely clear that I'm not saying all of this as a criticism to you but rather just as an FYI sort of thing.

[@volfgangtwins]

Thank you! We’re happy you like our design and build. That’s great that you also create instruments! We understand what you are saying about Viking instruments, but just because there is no proof doesn’t mean it wasn’t so. Vikings were intelligent enough to build superior ships and navigate extremely far distances over the high seas, forge with high carbon crucible steel, and were imaginative creators. We ought to give them more credit for their ingenuity and mechanical minds. Why would they not have figured out how to play stringed instruments with bows? Sure there may not be any tangible proof, partly because most instruments built back then wouldn’t have stayed preserved over 1000 years or even 500 years. Also they were not big writers. Most knowledge was passed down by word of mouth, who knows what has been lost never to be regained. It may not be best to fixate only on what facts scholars have recorded, but apply our belief to the mysterious history that was our ancestors. Also just to clear things up - 1. We are descendants of Vikings. The blood flows in our veins. Let’s keep their way alive! 2. AND these are our instruments. 3. That would make them Viking instruments. Haha!! Thanks for your input on the subject!

[@brendanm6921]

@@volfgangtwins I absolutely 100% agree with you that we need to give the Viking people a lot more credit than we do. I think it's a real shame how a lot of people seem to think they were just mindless barbarians who did nothing but drink alcohol and go on murder sprees. They were indeed very sophisticated as you say. A lot of misconceptions are floating around about them. I do really hope that in the future there will be more understanding about them and also of other historical people in general. Until then I think you summed it up best by saying to keep their ways alive. I do like your logic too that they are Viking instruments because they were built by people who have a Viking heritage. Well, thanks for the reply and keep up the work!

[@volfgangtwins]

@@brendanm6921 Thank you for your support!!

[@Luredreier]

@@volfgangtwins The problem with that logic is just that just because something seems *obvious* to us doesn't mean that it did so at the time. Bows used as instruments has existed in our part of the world for a long, long time. But bows used to stroke string instruments where invented on the Asian stepps and only reached Europe around year 1000. So while we can't rule out that the vikings where early adoptors and used the tegelharpa before the official end of the viking age it most certainly did not exist during the majority of the viking era. If the vikings *did* know about them earlier then the idea would most likely have spread in Europe much earlier due to interactions that the vikings had with them, and even if there might not have been traces of the actual instruments we'd probably have seen writings from other civilisations that where literate at the time mentioning them. Stroking instruments where a innovation around year 1000 making instruments never before seen possible all over Europe, the Middleeast and Northern Africa and they where quite popular. The original 6 string viking lyre however where most definitively used during the viking age and where apparently popular among the upper class. Anyway, I absolutely love your work, they look amazing. =)

[@dancingfirecat5602]

Beautifully made instruments! And with such a gorgeous sound, too! What kind of wood did you use for the body/sound pieces? I will suggest one thing for the bows: The more the bow is used, the more the horsehair will fray and break. Either have a backup bow handy, or there might be another way for you to re-string your current ones without all the hassle. --from a violin player

Wow, this is absolutely amazing!! I am starting my first tagelharpa build in a few days!! Crazy fantastic music too. How many hairs for each string and how many twists did you use ? New supporter!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@volfgangtwins]

Thank you and good luck with your build! High string 25 hairs. Mid string 35 hairs. Bass string 50 hairs. Twist them until they are taught, but don’t overtwist. You will feel when all the hairs become one string. Remember to twist them all consistently in one direction. It doesn’t matter which direction, as long as they are all wound the same way. If you have any other questions feel free to ask! We are happy to share what we know! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Very cool, been thinking about making my own! Not "as bad" as I initially thought, but still a fairly long process.

[@johnnymcquirk8844]

How important is it, where to place exactly the bar(10:14)? I don't think is possible to glue it random place. If you do it for example on the guitar , if will be in tune if you try from 1-12 fret, here can seems to be good, but from 12th fret and far will not be in tune. How will it be here? Where to place it toward the strings and their length? (from tuning pegs to fixed bridge - and the bar between). I ask because I would like to build my own and I can't find information about it. Thank you!

[@birdandcatlover5597]

it is a fretless string, so you measure from (on this instrument) the tuning pegs. if you want it to have the (common) DAE tuning (A one fourth below the D). ill go with D3, so D string of a cello. the vibrating length is 69cm. in fact, you could pop an actually cello string on if you wanted. i hope that helps, and makes sense

[@volfgangtwins]

Thank you! We have been builders our entire lives, all self taught as we have grown up on farms and in the mountains. We have built everything from entire houses and structures to truck motors, motorcycles, and guns. Making these instruments was fun to figure out, as we have experience modifying guitars/drums and amps/ speaker cabinets. We looked at tagelharpas we liked the sound of and decided to build our own stylized versions of that! Once the technical side of the build was done, it was easy to incorporate the artistic sculpture ideas into the headstock.They turned out great and we have used them on both of our albums! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Χρόνοςχαίνω]

Здравия. Скажите, есть ли какой нибудь принцип вымеряния мензуры, то есть в каком месте на деке устанавливается подставка под струны, ближе к центру или к низу, или здесь это не принципиально?

[@volfgangtwins]

Самая важная причина для правильного размещения бриджа заключается в том, чтобы давление струн не повредило деку / деку. Особенно, если вы используете очень тонкий звуковой ящик. Некоторые используют бас-бар, расположенный прямо за мостом, чтобы усилить звуковую доску у моста. НЧ-панель соединяет переднюю и заднюю части звуковой коробки, обеспечивая некоторую структурную целостность. Что касается шкалы нот, поместите мост там, где он оставляет место для вашего смычка, и, в зависимости от того, насколько большой масштаб вам нужен, создайте его в пределах ноги грифа, как на гитаре. Надеюсь это поможет! Спасибо за просмотр, скоро появятся новые видео!

[@deutsche_lyrik]

*First of all, I think it's great that young people are still involved in instrument making and are maintaining traditions in this field in particular🙃* From the perspective of the instrument maker, I have two more comments 🙏🏻 Why are the the top and the bottom so thick? For sound reasons, doesn't it make more sense to make the top significantly thinner? The instrument can never resonate or vibrate optimally with such solid wood🙏🏻 The horsehair strings should be twisted against each other in several small strands - then they last longer and become more stable🙏🏻 Nevertheless - respect for your twin work 🙏🏻It's really great when brothers harmonize like that and share a common passion. Even more manual work and less machine work would be a good goal for you for the next instrument - then it will be even more authentic🙃 Greetings from Germany 🙏🏻

Hi! I have a question, how do you suspend the tailpiece? I’m sorta confused about that

[@jakubobaczewski3022]

Great work! May I ask what type of wood have you guys used?

[@volfgangtwins]

Thank you very much! We used Spruce for the body and Walnut for the tuning pegs, bridge, string plate, anchor pegs, and wolf heads.

[@ЛарисаАнтропова-й2с]

Молодцы ребята супер 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Varg580]

Can I ask how many horse-hair strands did you use for the strings? Its really hard to find any information on the internet.

[@volfgangtwins]

Sure, 50 strands for the bass string, 35 for the center string and 25 for the high string, however you can experiment with different thicknesses and see what works best for you🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Varg580]

@@volfgangtwins Thank you so much!

[@creeker230]

For the plate that supports the strings vertically, did you glue it to the surface?

[@volfgangtwins]

The string plate is "floating" it is tied by rope to the pegs attached to the lower body on one side. The tuners for the horse strings hold the other end. The Bridge is glued and doweled to the body. Good luck with your build! Skål!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Excellent skills ❤😮

[@xLeechcraftx]

I just discovered you guys recently and damn am I glad I did. Both your music and craftsmanship is awe inspiring. I've been looking into how to build my own tagelharpa so I could start learning an instrument. I have a couple questions, if you don't mind my asking. 1.) These are electrified, but can be played acoustic too, yes? I don't know much about much about instrument construction, so forgive me if that's a silly question. The soundbox just seems thinner than I expected from watching other videos on making them. 2.) You glued two pieces of wood to make the body/soundbox. How thick is each piece? 3.) I'd like to try make mine with similar levels of epic bass. How tall and wide are the completed instruments without including the wolf head ornament?

[@volfgangtwins]

Thank you! Glad you are interested in building this instrument! Yes, they are electrified with passive pickups from a cello. Our soundboxes are on the thicker end compared to what you would find off etsy etc. We glue two 3/4 inch boards together and router them out so the walls of the sound box are about 3/8 inch thick. Our instruments are 36 in long (we have long arms so it's a nice fit) and 9 inches wide. You can make them any length that will fit for you. Hope this helps and good luck with your build brother! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@xLeechcraftx]
